Block Starz Music recording artist Lega-C, who burst onto the independent music scene with her YouTube clip "White Girl Raps Fast", has confirmed the existence of a pornographic home video and pictures taken of her several years ago.

"This is really embarrassing, but I think people should know," says the 25-year-old Tulsa, Oklahoma native in a statement released through her label.

"When [my ex-boyfriend] and I were together, he video taped [us having sex] without my knowledge. A month later he showed it to me and I was pissed, but he refused to delete it. He also took naked pics of me with his snake."

Lega-C, born Danielle McLean, says she wanted to make her fans aware of the situation before it went public.

"I am trying to be a role model for young women and I have a feeling when I get just big enough these things will be released," Lega-C explains. "I like to be ahead of the game, so if it comes out later on down the line, people who support me won't think I'm on some hypocrite type sh*t. I'm not proud of it, but it happened."
